No, not as in getting the best gear possible. I have been trying to gear up by gaining some levels on my much neglected alts.

These alts are the red headed step children of my stable (sorry, Gingers dont have souls).

Recently I have been farting around on my Hunter and Rogue mainly. My hunter is the second character that I ever made and he has never been at the level cap during any expansion. Right now I have him at 71, and the same problem still exists....I dont particularly find Hunters to be fun.

I grabbed a dual spec on him so that soloing would not be so terrible (I was running a survival spec and my pet seemed to be made of cardboard). Now I am happily eating faces as BM. Speaking of BMs, I my rogue is not fun at all.

My rogue is squishy. He also does terrible DPS. I dont have an AOE. I just cant compete with any other class in overall damage and dps except on boss fights. I am mainly leveling my Rogue because my sister powerleveled her druid up to that range and it is more fun to level with someone than alone.

I still have Crispee the pink haired Gnome mage as well. He is very squishy, but I usually have fun playing him because he is quirky.

I think I am also going to start beating down some of those old BC reps with Darraxus before the expansion comes out. Starting with Netherwing and maybe following that with Kurenai.

This is the first time that I have played any amount of time in a few weeks. At least it gives me something to do.

ANyways, this was not a 100 percent pug and only one of the members truly failed.

It was a Warlock doing under 1k dps. He was specced into Demo and was just plain bad.

I did not even notice how shitty his numbers were until I was just past the second boss. I had to lol at the percentage of damage dome by ability. 92 percent of his damage was Rain of Fire.

After we faced the last boss (we were in Nexus), I decided to check the individual recount for that fight. Warlock did 500 DPS. 100 percent of it was from Rain of Fire. He AOEd a single target boss...../facepalm.

To top it off, his pet only did about 100 less total damage on the fight. Epic fail.

I don't know if the dude was a bot or a little kid, or maybe just a fucking idiot. I don't understand how people make it that far don't know what the hell they are doing.

I could do more than 500 dps at around level 60. How on earth do you do 500 on a boss at level 80.....head exploding now.

I did not get much of an opportunity to play this weekend, but the time that I did play, it was mostly with some of the girls of WoW.

First, I saw Phaelia online for the first time in forever. She was getting her first taste of the Icecrown instances. Unfortunately for her, Scourgelord Tyrannus bugged out at the end of the second instance and rendered it unable to finish.

She has just gotten back into the swing of things and has been mostly spending time with the freshly sprouted seed. We even ran a random Heroic Nexus that went quick and painless. Always nice to see a former blogger getting back to the game.

I also got to play with my favorite lady.....my wife. This is the first time she had played since February.

Since this week is Childrens week, we decided to go out and grab a few new pets. I got Mr. Wiggles and Peanut. That gave me the veteran Nanny achivement. She got Speedy and Sleepy Willy.

Overall, I did not get to play very much, but I did have fun with the time I did get to play.

Unfortunately, if people I enjoy playing with are not online, I just dont enjoy playing. I play now for the friendly social interaction. I havent even bothered to see past the first boss in icecrown.
